Key Points:
Commenting on Gatwick’s traffic report for August, Nick Dunn, Chief Financial Officer at Gatwick Airport said:
“The excitement of the Games saw fewer Britons jet abroad on holiday in the first two weeks of August than last year, although there was an increase in late holiday bookings post the closing ceremony and this has continued into September. This saw the overall departing passenger numbers for the month being 1.3% higher than the prior year.”
